Our tips for Brisbane

  • Protect Yourself. Make sure to carry your hat and sunscreen with you and stay hydrated. Avoid venturing out during midday when the sun is the strongest.
  • Water Bottle. Carry a water bottle with you as tap water in Brisbane is safe to drink. Save money by refilling water bottles in hotels and malls.
  • Tip or Not. Tipping isn’t that common, the way it is in America. So don’t feel guilty about not tipping. And if you do, your server will definitely be delighted!
  • Be Polite. A simple ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ can go a long way as Aussie folks are a polite bunch. Greet the locals with a friendly ‘hello’ and don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need any.
  • Riverside Strolls and Biking. Take in the picturesque Brisbane River by embarking on a relaxed walk or cycling adventure along the scenic riverside paths. Kangaroo Point Cliffs and South Bank provide captivating views.
  • Excursions. Explore nearby attractions like the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, or the Glass House Mountains on day trips. These destinations offer varied landscapes and experiences, all within a short drive from Brisbane.
  • Indulge in Local Flavors. Delight in the unique offerings at Brisbane's varied eateries and markets. Ensure you savor Australian classics such as meat pies, seafood, and Vegemite, capturing the essence of local cuisine.

Good to know

Brisbane is famously known as the “City of Bridges” as it has several river crossings such as the iconic Victoria bridge and Story Bridge. It also earned the name “Jacaranda City” due to a wide variety of jacaranda trees that bloom to give purple hues during the spring season. Brisbane’s Spring Hill Reservoir serves as an underground water reserve and was constructed back in the 19th century and is still operational. It is now used as a space for operas and concerts. In 1930, Brisbane’s City Hall was completed, and it houses the ‘time capsule’ that contains artifacts depicting Brisbane’s history.
